In the latest (and last?) Friday Grab Bag:
- One simple trick for enjoying Gary Bettman sound bites
- The NBA offseason is just way more fun that's the NHL's, and that's OK
- An obscure player with a two-pack-a-day habit who confused Bob McKenzie
- The week's three comedy stars
- And a week after basking in how wonderful Alexei Kovalev could be, we take a look at the other side of the coin.

In other news: As you may have heard, Vice Sports is apparently shutting down and/or pivoting to video and/or something. Right now, I don't know what this means for the future of the Grab Bag, the Biscuits podcast, the Lozo mailbags or anything else I was doing with Vice (although I think we can probably guess). All I can say right now is that you'll know when I do.

Damn man, first Grantland, now Vice. Is reading dead? The last thing most people want is more videos injected into their face.

If you can't find some place to pick up your columns in place of Vice, maybe consider opening up a Patreon. You are quite possibly the only writer/media-creator I'd cough up monthly dollars to keep reading.

Sorry to hear the future at Vice is unclear. Please keep up writing in some form somewhere. It is some of the best stuff on the Internet. Your books were good value for money too, so even behind a paywall would be worth it.
